I would like to do some Biblical exegesis. Who are some of the better more respected Catholic commentators. Im looking for a exhaustive exgesis and commentary on the Bible. Any suggestions?
 
Tim Gray’s Gospels of Mark and John are on audio format - Real Player. They are fantastic!!! And they’re free!!! The format is a little clumsy, as he has 5 students with him asking questions, but the well that he draws from is very deep.

I also recommend his book on the Gospel of Luke, “Mission of the Messiah” and “Sacraments in Scripture”.

Edward Sri has a great book on Matthew, “Keys to the Kingdom” I think. He also does a fantastic bible study on the rosary, “The Rosary in Scripture”. All of these books and audio files have help give me material to present to our adult education class.

Notworthy
 
Also online for free are the Church Fathers, at:
newadvent.org/fathers/
especially check out Saint Augustine who has a commentary on John, Psalms, general NT stuff, etc
and another NICE source is Saint John Chrysostom who has a commentary for John and ALL of Pauls Letters.
 
For a single-volume Bible commentary Catholic Answer apologists have recommended the 1953 edition of A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture, edited by Bernard Orchard, published by Thomas Nelson & Sons. Used copies sometimes turn up for sale on www.ebay.com or at www.abebooks.com

For a multi-volume Bible commentary Catholic Answer apologists have recommended the nearly-complete Navarre Bible series, published by Scepter Publishers.
 
Dictionary of Biblical Theology (an expanded concordance) from Word Among Us (Emmaus Press)

for a devotional commentary the volumes on each NT book from Word Among Us

for footnotes and study bible the Ignatius RSV-CE with NT volumes by Scott Hahn et al

if your bible is NAB, the new Jerome bible commentary
if your bible is the DR-C, the Haydock bible commentary, which does not include modern bible scholarship (which may or may not be a bad thing)

the single best commentary-bible study I have ever seen is Steve Ray’s guide to John’s gospel, my devotional reading for the coming year (essential as I am in charge of RCIA). I hope he lives long enough to do the whole bible or at least the whole NT.
